Montgomery is the better player. Mingo is overated at this point and DE isn't that high of a need. We need depth, not starters. Eric Reid should be the pick because Tennessee lacks a true playmaker in the secondary.

40. Tennessee- Jonathan Cooper, OG, North Carolina

Great pick. Replaces the bum LeRoy Harris at RG.

73. Tennessee- Quinton Patton, WR, La. Tech

No need for a WR at all. I'd honestly go guard again here and take Larry Warford. Hutchinson is up in age and hasn't played well at all this season. He'll need replacing sooner or later and Warford has really impressed me.

102. Tennessee- Josh Boyd, DT, Mississippi State

DT isn't a need either. We have Casey, Klug, Martin, and Marks. Casey is good DT and the 3 others are solid rotational DT's. I'd love Stepfan Taylor or Dion Jordan here.

Lotulelei is one of the few BPA type guys that if they fall, you just plain take them, smile, and offer a human sacrifice to whatever god you believe in at a date to be named later. If he's available to them, the Chargers would be dumb not to select him; if not, CB is the most likely option.

I still don't see why folks are so keen on Brennan Williams - he's face poor competition and his pass-blocking leaves a lot to be desired. Then throw in that he's from the ACC (which AJ Smith doesn't draft OL from - hasn't ever done it) and that AJ has only once spent a pick higher than a 3rd on an OL, and it's just not a likely pick, particularly when you consider that we likely go into this draft with need for starters (and if not straight up starters then guys who would be starting within a year) at at least one of the guard spots and quite possibly one of the CB spots. The value and position of need in someone like Illinois' Terry Hawthorne or Texas' Carrington Byndom is just much better.

WR, at this point, just isn't a position of need. Malcom Floyd is under contract through 2015, Vincent Brown is a more than capable #2/#3 option, and so long as Gates is on this team the most that will be necessary of Meachem will be #2 receiver type production. There's so much money right now tied up in WR's that it's just not going to be a high priority in this upcoming or the next draft most likely. Here's where we likely see the OL come off the board for us: Sullen from Auburn's a possibility, as are Wagner, Hawkinson, or Pocic (effectively if an OL isn't from the SEC, Big 10, or Big XII conferences, there's a minimal chance AJ Smith is looking at him as much more than a priority UDFA; the man just has his habits and sticks to them). Heck Dion Jordan (though he still wouldn't be on the board by this point) would be a better option than any WR available.

Buchanan in the 4th is a fair option and decent value there. Christine Taylor from Texas A&M is another good option - as I have a feeling that the staff isn't going to be content to just keep riding Jackie Battle as Mathews' primary backup, Curtis Brinkley will be a low-priority re-sign as a UFA, and Ronnie Brown is now little more than a healthy gameday scratch for us. They'll likely stick someone behind Mathews who can put pressure on him to lose the fumble-tendencies or risk losing touches - and 2014 is the point when the guarantees in his contract will have been fully paid out._________________

hate round 1. no way we go tackle in one. we needed a g and c. boone stepped up so need a c and depth. i think we go de or safety here. maybe te

round 2 is amazing.
3 is alright. but chase and then ertz or toilollo late would be perfect.

im being picky. but this is the best mock ive seen for us so far. good job. nailed our needs (just get rid of tackle in one)_________________***WE RUN THE WEST!***
SB AT HOME!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Love me some Bengals draft. Maybe give me Lester over Rambo

You're right on that one. I think Lester is more of the Strong Safety that the Bengals covet. Taking Iloka last year, might be enough to cover the need at FS..... in time, but there is an immediate need for a playmaking Strong Safety, because Taylor Mays plays out of control and wreckless on too many plays. I'm gonna change that. Thanks for pointing this out._________________"People say you should always do the right thing, but sometimes there is no right thing.

All 3 picks would be terrible for the Bears…Faulk will be coming off a serious injury and we have had enough with picking Olinemen with injury concerns…I doubt he comes out this year…Reddick is a decent LB but there are better defensive playmakers on the board…and we could use a backup QB but we have bigger needs to address with that 4th round pick especially without a 3rd…

Give us Te’o in the 1st…Warmack in the 2nd…Ertz in the 4th._________________Adopt-a-Bear...Adrian Amos

I would be very disappointed if the Vikings passed on both Manti Te'o and Star Lotulelei.

I know the Vikings could use a big receiver, but taking the 5th wide receiver over the best middle linebacker and arguably the best defensive tackle, seems like a reach on a need pick, instead of taking the best player on the board._________________

This is extremely poor for Chicago... With Urlacher, Peppers, and Tillman not getting any younger passing on guys like Te'o, Banks, Milliner, and Montgomery for an overrated, injury prone, borderline top 10 T in this draft is silly._________________BEARS----BULLS----DODGERS----KINGS--
